I made these for Thanksgiving dinner, and was embarresed after serving them. They were bland, and down right gross. I wouldn't recommend this recipe to anyone with taste buds.

They were a hit! I have a 13yr. old and a 2yr. old and they both loved them. That doesn't happen very often!!!Something to try I made them again using pineapple juice instead of apricot. It was wonderful also!

I have made these several times for guests as well as just us. They have been a hit with EVERYONE from a 4 year old to a 95 year old! Not too sweet, delicious butter tasting sauce. You can cook the carrots in the microwave instead of boiling to save time. Also, I was a bit miffed that I had to buy a huge bottle of the apricot Kern to use only like 1/2c. in the recipe - but then it occured to me to freeze the juice in recipe sized portions. Now when I want to make it I just whip out my premeasured Kern and melt it in the microwave!

I made this for 12 servings and found that I had far too much glaze. If you triple the servings I recommend about 1.5 times the glaze. Otherwise, it was perfect. The crowd thought it was tops.

This recipe was really good if you like glazed carrots. My whole family ate it right up.

These carrots were fabulous! There was just the right amount of sweetness not to overpower the delicate flavor of the baby carrots. We also found the left-over sauce great for dipping our cut green beans in. You can't miss with this one.
